At the same time, the minister stressed the importance of land reform. "Land is the last national treasure, which can either be sprayed or bring a great social and economic benefit. Therefore, in introducing the sale of agricultural land the most important thing is not to leave peasants without land," he is convinced. According to the minister, protecting the interests of rural masses and farmers is the main task.
